Thank you for posting a photo in your Post No. 34, Gamecock, which also graces the book cover of:
'WE WERE SOLDIERS ONCE...& YOUNG'
...This is the book by Lt. Gen. HAL G. MOORE (Ret) & JOE GALLOWAY' upon which the 2002 RANDALL WALLACE Motion Picture is based.
The Soldier shown at the Battle of IA DRANG-1965 is one Lt. RICK RESCORLA who:
Saved 100's of lives during the Battle of IA DRANG-1965
Saved 100's of lives during the terrorist Bombing of the World Trade Center-1993
Saved 1,000's of lives during terrorist Airstikes on the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center
...after personally predicting those same terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center well in advance.
...Only to end up to giving himself up in the process:

That is RICK RESCORLA's NVA/French bugle shown being picked up by a SkyTrooper in the IA DRANG Valley during "WE WERE SOLDIERS."
RICK RESCORLA's IA DRANG-1965 heroism is highlighted in 35 different index references in the book.
RICK RESCORLA is not indexed (depicted) at all in the movie.
